SUPPORT FOR GAS REGIONAL
INVESTMENT PLANS
Establishment of Gas Regional Investment Plans (GRIPs)
is a requirement under Art 12(1) of Regulation (EC)
715/2009. These GRIPs are developed by member TSOs
under the umbrella of ENTSOG, which also provides
support on data collection and modelling. These plans
help to coordinate activities between neighbouring TSOs
and provide support for further infrastructure develop-
ment wherever necessary. GRIPs serve as a link between
TYNDP and national plans.
The second edition of the GRIP reports was published
between November 2013 and August 2014.
In 2015, member TSOs chose to develop the third edition of
GRIPs in a joint development process with TYNDP 2017.
This process will ensure the use of a common dataset for
GRIPs and TYNDP and complementarity between the re-
ports. The third edition of GRIPs will consequently be pub-
lished at the end of 2016 or beginning of 2017.
ENTSOG Maps
In 2015, ENTSOG maintained the publication of its well-
known Transmission Capacity Map 2015 and System De-
velopment Map 2014, the latter in collaboration with GIE.
Both maps benefited from ENTSOG’s commitment to con-
tinuously improve its deliverables.
The Transmission Capacity Map provides an overview of
Europe’s main high-pressure transmission lines with infor-
mation on the technical capacities at cross-border intercon-
nection points. The 2015 edition was published in May.
The System Development Map produced in collaboration
with Gas Infrastructure Europe focuses on the previous
year’s supply and demand trends. It also provides an over-
view of the existing gas infrastructure and an outlook for its
development. The 2015 edition covering the year 2014 was
published in July.
